Local Masonry Solutions is a Marblehead shop that works masonry, chimney, patio and basement-waterproofing jobs around Boston and the North Shore. The company describes itself as third-generation and family-run, and its reviews name an owner, John, directly. A 2026 review calls a chimney repair and fireplace cleaning prompt, skilled and thorough. A 2024 review describes John returning to fix a basement water problem four years after doing a patio job for the same customer, and calls the result pleasing. Two more reviews from 2024 are brief but positive, praising the crew as fair and hard-working. Two of the five reviews on file also describe air-duct, dryer-vent and mold-cleaning work — services that don't appear anywhere in the company's own description of its masonry, chimney and waterproofing business. It's worth confirming directly what the company actually does before assuming that combination applies here. For chimney, patio and basement-water work in the Marblehead/Boston area, the reviews on file are positive, though the track record is still short — a handful of jobs over about two years.
